Trump Warns Carney Against Making Him Enemy Amid Trade Dispute
US President Donald Trump has issued a warning to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney against making him an 'enemy', saying it could hurt Canada's economy and prove politically damaging.
In a post on his Truth Social account, Trump stated that 'it is very good for Canadian politicians like Prime Minister Carney to make President Donald J. Trump the enemy, until their economy collapses, then it will prove to be very bad for politics, Worse than anything that has ever happened to a Canadian politician.'
The warning comes amid an escalating trade dispute between the two countries, with Canada set to impose retaliatory tariffs on $20 billion worth of US imports from September 8.
Carney had previously announced a C$4.7 billion investment in VIA Rail passenger cars, which will be manufactured domestically for the first time in four decades.
